Dermatology Clinician (Remote Triage)

Description

We are seeking an experienced and clinically confident professional to join our Dermatology team as a Dermatology Clinician (Remote Triage). You will play a pivotal role in assessing dermatology referrals submitted via our lesion photography service, using the eDerma platform, which integrates directly with the NHS e-Referral Service (eRS).

This role is ideal for a consultant or specialist dermatologist with strong dermatology or generalist experience within the NHS who is confident working independently, values flexibility, and is committed to delivering safe, efficient, and high-quality virtual care.

The Role

As a Dermatology Clinician (Remote Triage), you will conduct virtual assessments of patient referrals received through eDerma. Using high-quality clinical photographs and referral documentation, you will determine the most appropriate next steps in the patient’s care pathway—whether that be discharge with advice, referral for routine or urgent review, escalation to a Two-Week Wait (2WW) pathway, or direct-to-treatment.

This is a fully remote position that allows flexible working hours while maintaining the responsibility for autonomous clinical decision-making, accurate documentation, and collaborative working with administrative and clinical colleagues.
